Description

Uncle Effer Trail is a steep, rugged footpath in the Salt Lake City Foothills that connects Dry Creek to Black Mountain Trail. Known for its direct, no-frills ascent, it features loose terrain and sustained grades that make it a demanding climb for hikers and trail runners. The route is best suited for those seeking a short but intense link within the foothills trail system, with expansive views as the elevation quickly gains.
